I ride responsibly, and that's enough. I don't care if others do their own thing, and I don't care if other cyclists look down on me because my blinkie's not bright enough.

I don't think you get it. It's the non-cyclists who look down on cyclists. Hell, my own sister-in-law thinks that anyone who rides a bicycle must be an illegal alien and unable to obtain a drivers license (she lives in Arizona).
